Olexandr KHATSKEVYCH: “We try to attack more”

- We’re back from the training camp in good mood. We’ve fulfilled quite intense work. So, everything is fine.

- Dynamo are in for the Ukrainian Super Cup against bitter rival…

- It doesn’t matter in what competition we face each other, it will be a good game. All players aim for victory.

- Players say they had more intense exercise load at the training camp than under the charge of previous coach. What do you think of that?

- I don’t know how the team worked under the charge of previous coach (smiling), especially at the training camp. We tried to lay foundation. If players say they’ve had more intense exercise load, they have what to compare with.

- Has anything changed about Dynamo play in term of tactics? For example, late in the last season Dynamo used formation with three centre backs…

- I guess many of you have watched our friendlies at the training camp. We’re not going to change this formation as we don’t have much time. Players know how we attack and defend. They have personal duties. It all depends upon particular situation on the field. It’s important how the team switches from defense to attack and vice versa. Improvisation isn’t forbidden.

- Will you lay emphasis on team speed?

- We try to attack more, but it doesn’t mean every attack must be fast. Ball control is important, but not in defensive half.

- Dynamo have signed Polish defender. Are you going to conduct more transfers?

- We’ll see. We had been following Kedziora for a while. Tomasz has impressed us. I hope he’ll meet our demands and make headway as a player.

- Dynamo have five forwards at the moment. Will any of them leave the team?

- It’s good when there’re many forwards in the team. As for players that worked with us at the training camp, Yaremchuk and Mykhailychenko will perform on loan, Tymchyk also has some options. These guys should get game practice not in youth league, but on higher level. Speaking about strikers, we have five at the moment and that’s okay. They’ve all approved themselves at the training camp. We still have time to find out what Khlyobas and Kravets will do. Artem used to have injury, but he doesn’t feel any discomfort already. Anything can happen.
